Además de una fuerte influencia de los años 90, esta temporada se caracteriza por dar un mensaje de diversidad. Es por ello que la paleta de color va del blanco al negro, e incluye hasta calabaza y kaki.

According to fashion designer Abel López, the spring-summer 2026 season is characterized by a strong influence from the 90s and a profound message of diversity. This is reflected in a broad color palette that spans from pristine white to deep black, incorporating earthy tones like pumpkin and khaki. This inclusivity in color choice encourages individuals to experiment and create looks that resonate with their personal style, prioritizing comfort and freshness while enhancing their natural beauty.

Al igual que un lienzo, simboliza nuestro deseo de empezar desde cero. Permite desprendernos de capas de pensamiento obsoleto y abrir la puerta a nuevos enfoques.

— Laurie PressmanLaurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Institute, describes the symbolism of Cloud Dancer, the Color of the Year.

Among the standout colors making waves are Cloud Dancer, designated as the Color of the Year by the Pantone Institute, and a powerful, audacious red. Cloud Dancer, a subtle white with faint gray nuances, symbolizes new beginnings and offers versatility, pairing elegantly with pastels or creating a classic contrast with black. The vibrant red, seen in collections from Dior, Celine, and Brandon Maxwell, embodies strength, power, and confidence. From our perspective at El Universal, these trends offer a fantastic opportunity for our readers to explore new ways to express themselves through fashion, moving beyond fleeting fads to embrace styles that are both contemporary and personally empowering. The emphasis on diversity and individual expression is particularly resonant, allowing for a more inclusive and creative approach to dressing this spring.

El color define por completo ese margen que, a su vez, va a determinar la forma, la textura, la luminosidad y el contrastado.
